Roof repair and replacement in Loveland, CO

Roofing in Loveland

Loveland's housing splits into a few roofing worlds. The older grid around downtown and Lake Loveland — the streets off Lincoln and Cleveland Avenues, north to 29th Street — is 1900s–1960s houses with steep gables, brick chimneys and, on a lot of them, three or four generations of repairs. The 1970s–1990s subdivisions west of Taft Avenue and south along Wilson and Boise Avenues are the bulk of the city: ranches and split-levels with architectural shingles that have been replaced once or twice after hail and are due again. Mariana Butte, The Lakes at Centerra, Millennium, Boyd Lake and the neighborhoods off Boyd Lake Avenue are 1990s–2020s two-stories with cut-up roofs, plenty of valleys and skylights, and original roofs coming up on 15–20 years. And out the Big Thompson toward the canyon, homes sit in the wind shadow of the foothills where chinooks hit hardest.

Roofers Loveland CO homeowners hire also deal with a city that licenses its own contractors and issues its own permits. A City of Fort Collins license doesn't cover a Loveland re-roof; we hold Loveland's too, and the permit is in our price.

What we see most here

• Hail bruising on the east- and south-facing slopes after the July and August storms. The hail cycles of the last decade re-roofed whole streets in Mariana Butte and the neighborhoods off Eisenhower; those roofs are fine, but the ones that were missed then are 20 years old now.
• Cracked pipe boots and dried-out ridge caps on the 1990s houses west of Wilson. Sun at this elevation is the cause.
• Ice-dam leaks at the eaves on the older houses near Lake Loveland with no ice-and-water shield and attics stuffed with old insulation that blocks the soffits.
• Chimney flashing on the downtown brick, often a strip of galvanized and a lot of caulk.
• Wind-creased shingles on the west-facing slopes of homes along the Big Thompson and out Highway 34 after a chinook.

The big cottonwoods along the Big Thompson and the old silver maples downtown matter too — they drop limbs on roofs in every spring snow, and the leaves pile in valleys and hold moisture against the shingles all winter.

What we do here

• Roof repair — leaks, flashing, boots, wind-lifted shingles; most jobs $300–$1,500
• Roof replacement — architectural or Class 4 shingles, $450–$800 per square; a typical Loveland two-story runs $12,000–$21,000
• Hail damage and insurance claims — inspections, chalked test squares, adjuster meetings, and Colorado's deductible law followed
• Roof inspection — written reports for buyers, sellers and insurance renewals
• Class 4 shingles — the upgrade most Loveland homeowners choose after their second hail claim

Permits and HOAs

The City of Loveland requires a permit for a full replacement and inspects the work. Most of the subdivisions built after 1995 — Mariana Butte, Centerra, Millennium — have architectural review committees that care about shingle color and, in a few cases, require Class 4. We send the manufacturer's spec sheet and a color sample for approval before we order.
